Saeed Sadeghi, MD, explores the future treatment landscape for anemia in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS), discussing the impact of emerging therapies on erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs), identifying unmet needs in anemia management, and sharing clinical insights for community oncologists.

Saeed Sadeghi, MD, shares his current approach to treating anemia in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS), detailing when to choose erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) for first-line treatment, conditions for switching therapies, and factors influencing the decision to use luspatercept as a first-line option, including considerations for dose escalation.

Saeed Sadeghi, MD, discusses the impact of health care resource utilization on treatment decisions and quality of life for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), highlighting real-world data presented at SOHO that compares the resource utilization of U.S. patients treated with luspatercept versus erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs).

Saeed Sadeghi, MD, reviews real-world data on luspatercept, discussing treatment patterns and outcomes, including transfusion burden, hemoglobin increase, and other key baseline data that may differ from registrational studies in the context of managing lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS).

Saeed Sadeghi, MD, discusses the updated data from the COMMANDS study presented at ASCO 2024, emphasizing the significance of outcome data comparing luspatercept to epoetin alfa in first-line (1L) treatment for lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS).

Saeed Sadeghi, MD, discusses the differing mechanisms of action between luspatercept and epoetin alfa, highlighting how these differences may correlate with clinical benefits for patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS).
